E.N.A. Meat frozen beef and lamb recall: Reason, affected products, and other details explored

Over 58,700 pounds of E.N.A. Meat frozen beef and lamb products are being recalled from across the country as they were being sold without the benefit of a federal inspection. Produced by E.N.A. Meat Packing Inc., the recalled frozen lamb tripe, beef feet, and raw beef tripe products may cause several health risks upon consumption.

Announced on August 9, 2023, the nationwide recall was initiated after a United States Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) surveillance activity indicated that the concerned frozen beef and lamb products were produced and sold without a mandatory FSIS inspection. For the uninformed, these inspections enable the FSIS to ensure that the products are safe for human consumption and won't pose risks of infection and sickness to consumers.

Though the recalled frozen beef and lamb products have not been linked with any cases of infections, sicknesses, fatalities, or other ill effects, consumers are advised against consuming them. Considering that the recalled products were produced and sold without a federal inspection, they may be the cause of several potential health risks. Hence, consumers are advised to be cautious.
